Hobby Lobby clearance bird. Originally picked up for a nephew to build and fly at NARAM if he was interested. He wasn't, so it became a quick build B6-4 Field bird.

Quick flight. Bought this for my nephew to build and fly at NARAM, but he wasn't interested. I put it together while I was watching a movie this winter, just to have something to do. Huge fireball at ejection and the charge sounded like a gunshot. Top of the motor casing was burned pretty badly, but I couldn't find any damage to the rocket.
